David Rowlett, the owner of Dracut, Massachusetts-based Ductworks, Inc. has sheet metal in his blood.

Meridian Adhesives Group (Meridian) announced today the acquisition of Design Polymerics, a manufacturer of high-performance sealants, adhesives, insulation mastics and indoor air quality products. 

With a new, simpler design, the HomeSeal Connect 4.0 (HSC 4.0) duct sealing system from Aeroseal is easier to use and more rugged than ever before for increased uptime.

In 2009, the company added sustainability as a corporate initiative and as a fourth corporate strategic objective in 2011.
